The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters [PG]

Director: Seth Gordon

Starring: Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe, Walter Day

Who would have thought that icon of old school video games, Donkey Kong, could cause such drama? An hilarious documentary, it follows Billy Mitchell who, for decades, has held the high-score record for Donkey Kong. His reputation is on the line however when Steve Wiebe is discovered to be just as skilled at the game. Although true life, it flows like a classic villain/hero set-piece where you actually cheer for one contender over the other. And it's tense - integrity, relationships, even a marriage are all put to the test for the mightiest of titles - The King of Kong! You couldn't dream up a story like this! (AB)
